It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

If you're really excited about improving learning efficiency I don't think you understand what Learning means, my guy. This goes double for learning during childhood.

I am once again pointing out that even if Waymo cars are individually "safer than a human driver," what they will do to the transportation landscape will prolong the unsafety of our streets, leading to more harm in the long run than if we went all-in on traffic calming with no robotaxis at all.

In so far as sitcoms are about anything, "That 70's Show" is about deindustrialization.

Owning a large pickup truck is how suburban men deal with their gender insecurities. This is also what owning a large dog does for white dudes in Brooklyn.

There's much talk these days about what's required for "real" intelligence, such as world models and the like. One thing we know about the human evolution of it: it required/requires emotion. That may have been better appreciated in 1938 than today. archive.org/details/in.e...

Subtract the emotional element from religion, literature, and art and there would be left the merest dross, an utterly meaningless mass of symbols and responses. Emotionless, man could not produce poetry, music, the graphic arts, or any of the splendid products of a refined culture. The generous sweeps of the imagination that have brought forth romantic movements in the world^s history, the noble aspirations of the intellect that have led whole peoples to seek a higher life, the tremendous activities of organized groups which have spread the best tokens of their civilizations to other lands, the splendid achievements of individual pioneers, adventurers, craftsmen, artisans, composers, inventors, scientists, and spiritual leaders, would never have come to pass in an emotionless world.

The reason AI people think AI will be popular is because they have no idea what normal humans like.

After enough street fights you start to see that a big part of the anti-redesign team just wants to assert that they're in charge here (usually by virtue of having been here first, whether that's true or not). The content of the plan is irrelevant. What matters is that their in-group dominates.

The issue isn't that the rulers are old. It's that the institutions are broken and unaccountable. Under those conditions the people with power stay in power and the rich find their champions and keep them in their seats. That's show bad leaders stick around long enough to GET old.

We really gotta reckon with the high percentage of people whose moral system is just Capitalism, or who have no moral system at all. There are a TON of people running around sincerely incapable of telling right from wrong. Like . . . so many.

I've heard this kind of thing from electeds before and it's frankly disgusting. The morality of your words and votes are fair game. If you don't like it you shouldn't be in the big chair. Also all the clergy is this article are legends. www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-02...

DeLauro said, as a legislator in the minority of a large body, she has to thread the needle carefully with what she supports and votes for.

“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.

“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.

“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall of the Episcopal Church of St. Paul and St. James in New Haven. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

This is the most important one thing to know about NY politics in 2026. Even though Hochul will win the primary + the general, and many of our Left electeds will endorse her, the rank + file Left must campaign hard and vote against her in the primary to shift the balance of power in the state.

It would be darkly hilarious if the key to the epistemological knot Adam Tooze describes as Polycrisis were simply, "World events were driven by elite pedophiles who prioritized their child sex pipelines and collective chumminess over rational administration of nations and firms."

Welcome to the Marxist Revolution ummm . . . uh . . . chief economist at Moody's. 😐

Screenshot from a CNBC article, linked in the next skeet. "The “K-shaped” economy has been top of mind for consumers, corporate leaders, policymakers and investors since the Covid pandemic drastically reshaped Americans’ financial habits almost six years ago. Economists now warn that this two-speed economic structure is a core feature — rather than a passing fad — within the world’s largest economy.

“This is not a cyclical or temporary phenomena,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “This is a structural, fundamental issue.”"

But I do have one question. When you get to your little place in El Centro, I imagine you are going to take off that handsome-looking Border Patrol uniform of yours. A reminder that the awful & illegal things keep happening & have since 1865, because there are never any actual legal consequences.
